Dell Schanze test flies a 10 square meter custom powered paraglider wing at Beach Blast 2010. Here is his account of the test flight: “Yes truely insane fine sir lol. Very very difficult to kite. The total prototype made with extra phycho just for me went from frontal to stall with about 4 inches of brake travel lol. Seemed flyable though so I took off and immediately headed out over the water at an altitude I didn’t mind falling from. Then a couple hundred yards into the flight I hit some turbulence that caused the wing to lean far past the extra psycho and rattle, shake and accordian like I’ve never seen. With it flapping like a bird and me managing the control with only 4 inches to play with on the brakes I got it to return to a basically open attitude and continued out over deeper water just in case. I cooked around at pretty crazy speeds low over the water until I could come in back where I started and make an uneventful landing. Whew what a flight. People were freaking out lol, they thought for sure I was going to die. I can’t wait to see that wing “flutter” on video, that should be very interesting. So back safely on the ground I was happy to bag it back up for a shelf somewhere. Not sure it is even good for a kite or anything. I think we got a little too carried away on the psychoness of this glider. Whew! What a flight. Sure made for quite the show I’m sure though. Dell”
